These systems use large number of transmitting antennas and large number of receiving antennas. Microstrip patch antenna was selected to be the basic building block due to its simple and low cost in order to construct the best massive MIMO patch antenna array. The design criteria were to get the lowest return loss (S11) with good diversity gain at frequency 1.5 GHz. A new design of single patch antenna were developed and the massive MIMO array was constructed.","PeriodicalId":432900,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th Jordanian International Electrical and Electronics Engineering Conference (JIEEEC)","volume":"186 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131894315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm is applied to detect faces in gray scale images as opposed to colored images used in other algorithms. A comparison between the current approach and the original algorithm is presented.","PeriodicalId":432900,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th Jordanian International Electrical and Electronics Engineering Conference (JIEEEC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127172600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an unknown environment, the difficult issue in mobile robot navigation or path planning is to find the path from the starting point to the target and at the same time avoid collisions. In this paper, we present a developed algorithm for solving the problem of robot path planning in dynamic environment. By the proposed strategy, the mobile robot can travel smoothly to the designed target without collision. Simulation results are introduced to show performances and the effectiveness of this approach.","PeriodicalId":432900,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th Jordanian International Electrical and Electronics Engineering Conference (JIEEEC)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134313743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The thermal heat that is induced when this current flows in the conductor is used to milt the ice. The DC deicing is selected since it does not need a large amount of reactive power. This paper explains the heat process as a balance heat transferring process. The proposed model uses two methods to reduce the harmonic distortion that is produced during the melting process, these methods are: AC filter and fuzzy logic controller. DC deicing model is designed and simulated using the MATLAB/SIMULINK program by four substations with 220KV. The 35KV station which is the ice melting power is chosen; the equivalent reactance is 0.01H, with a line length 100 km and quality factor 20, as a general case. The results show how the design is effective to reduce the harmonic distortion using filter. Based on changing the proposed parameters on the SIMULINK model, different outputs are resulted where each one has an obvious effect on the DC current.","PeriodicalId":432900,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th Jordanian International Electrical and Electronics Engineering Conference (JIEEEC)","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115597650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
